Question
QUESTION: Heard this song the other day and I was listening to the guitar in it that I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics.  From the sound of it I thought it may have been either Santana or The Eagles, but the guitarist was playing in a minor key I believe and using a lot of bends.  The song was slow and from what I remember the first couple of lyrics were either 'My Life' or 'My Love'.  The guy was singing in a higher pitch voice.  Anyway if you know the name of this song it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

ANSWER:   Paul McCartney has a song called "MY LOVE" that fits your description.  If that is not it get back with me and I will wrack my brain for a bit.

QUESTION: No, that wasn't it.  The first part of this song was mostly a guitar solo and the singing didn't come in until later.  It may have even been played on a classic guitar.  Thanks!

Answer
 If you can give me more information, no matter how trivial it may seem, I may be able to tell you what it is,  for example instruments that you remember, or instruments that are not in it ( for example, guitar bass drums and violins, or flute).   Also, if it has drums what the beat is like ( another song that has a similar beat to it).
 Are there backround vocals?  
 Anything at all you can think of might jog my memory.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
